Our Horses - the most important part of your experience
Here at the Rusty Spurr Ranch we hold our horses in the highest regard.

They play an integral role in virtually every aspect of our business. From taking care of our guests and showing them the best our ranch has to offer to transporting our staff to whatever chore they may be required to complete, our ranch could not function without strong, healthy horses.

Saddle Up Get a taste of life in the Old West on a good, old-fashioned cattle drive
By Ted Shelsby Special to the Sun KREMMLING, Colorado // We had been in the saddle for about an hour when we got our first glimpse of the object of our search.
There, on the horizon, near Bill Moore Lake with its reflective view of puffy white clouds and blue sky, was a herd of about 165 cows, including some of the more ornery bulls seen on the professional rodeo circuit. We gave our horses free reins and with a kick of our heels and a shout of "Yeehaw!" we began our morning's work. This was a cattle drive.

Summit County and Breckenridge Colorado Trail Rides

We have five full time wranglers on staff, and a variety of part time cowboys and cowgirls who have a long history of experience with cattle, horses and ranching. We offer a variety of unique experiences to accommodate any equine desires our guests might have, from two and three hour scenic Colorado horseback rides through the mountain forests, scenic vistas and over the range, to genuine cattle drives, and even team building exercises for your corporate retreat, as well as an optional western lunch. As an example, our “Saddle & Paddle” will help you maximize your vacation time by merging the best of the Colorado horseback rides with that of whitewater rafting. This adventure package gives you the chance to spend a beautiful morning riding our horses on the trail, followed by an afternoon with our friends from KODI Rafting as you wash the dust of the trail off while rafting a beautiful stretch of the famous Colorado River.

Rusty Spurr ranch is a short, beautiful drive away from Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, Breckenridge, Vail, and Winter Park; close enough to be convenient, yet far enough from the crowded towns that you can have a true western ranching experience in a single day.

Rusty Spurr’s cowboys and cowgirls love to take people out on our undeveloped and diverse landscape, far from the hotels and highways and busy tourist spots. Take one of our memorable Colorado trail rides through the silent trails and breathe the clean mountain air as you and your horse navigate through tranquil aspen and evergreen forests. Marvel at the unrivaled panoramic mountain views of the Continental Divide, Never Summer, and Gore ranges. Learn a new skill or challenge yourself by taking part in one of our authentic Colorado cattle drives, with friends or the entire family.

Ranch living is more than a summer pastime; for us, it’s a way of life, and a passion. Our wranglers are all experienced hands at riding horses and punching cattle, and some of us live on the range year-round. We enjoy spending time with each guest as we rope and ride, whether we’re helping out with your riding skills or answering questions, or just getting to know each other. Colorado horseback rides with the Rusty Spurr Ranch will take you from the lively stables at Cow Camp to ruins of homesteader cabins out on the range, plus the chance to spot elk, antelope, deer and other Colorado wildlife. Whether you are looking for Colorado trail rides, a cattle drive, or a location for your corporate teambuilding activity, Rusty Spurr ranch has the all the hospitality and authentic cowboy experience folded into our beautiful 10,000 acre ranch. Step out of the towns and into the wilds, and allow us the opportunity to extend our welcome to you and your family.
